my banjo has a crush on your guitar

lyrics

there's a pretty girl who plays guitar
she likes to sing at the local bar
i go in there, i sit and drink
but not for the reason that you might think

i told her she should play there more
she said "i've seen you here alone before"
i told her "i am not alone
my banjo doesn't like to stay at home"

my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
i can tell the way it picks
my five-string wants to meet your six

i asked her if she'd like to jam
she said "it's late, i have to catch the tram"
i said "could we play sometime soon?"
she said "i'm sorry, i don't know that tune"

so then she said "now listen dear
you and your friend should have a beer"
i said "i think we missed last call
and my banjo doesn't drink at all"

my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
they could learn each other's licks
my five-string wants to meet your six

so guitar girl, she rolled her eyes
and said "right, have a good night, guys"
but then she made a frightened face
my banjo rose out of its case

the bar door shut all by itself
glasses fell down off the shelf
"the fun you made of me" i said
has made my banjo very mad"

my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
it knows all of your lyrics
my five-string wants to meet your six

so she and i were trapped inside
she cried for help so i replied
"my banjo's fair, it doesn't bite
it plays 'dueling banjos' all night"

then her guitar began to play
she and i both backed away
she said "can we get out of here?"
i said "my place is very near"

my banjo has a crush on your guitar
that's why i'm drinking in this bar
it thinks they'd make the perfect mix
my five-string wants to meet your six
